Teal Talks

Social Workers play an intrinsic role in the healing journey of those who have experienced trauma. Rather it is receiving assistance as a child who has been abused, an adult whose trauma has somehow been triggered, or a perpetrator who needs reformation. Social Workers are able to assist in providing resources and vital tools in order to enhance the lives of individuals who have experienced trauma. Listen in as we discuss this and more with guest speaker Denise Jefferson, MSW, CSW.
